Industrial Glass and Ceramics Department has been established in 2002. The programme is founded as Industrial Ceramic Programme and got its current name in 2009. Our programme covers formal education and education language is Turkish. The aim of the department is to educate the students as a technician for the industry of glass and ceramic. Industry needs well-educated technicians who will play an important role between engineers and workers. Our department fulfills this demand. Students graduated from Industrial Glass and Ceramics Department have work discipline and ethics and they can follow the technological developments, use related machinery. So, they will have a key role at the production continuity and at the development of the product quality.
Approximately 20 students are admitted each year. In the first year, students take technical courses in addition to basic courses. In the second year, they entirely take technical courses which provide them technological and industrial knowledge. Besides, students have possibility to examine and apply their theoretical knowledge at training periods at the end of the both first and second year. In addition to technological courses, students take courses such as Basic Art Education and Free Ceramics Application to improve their personal skills and creativities.
